I feel like the double decker buses are rarely worth it, only if you are there for a day or two. The metro and regular buses are much cheaper. You can easily have a 30-40 dollar day if you go to a museum like the Louvre or the Centre Pompidou, you can spend all day in there.

0:15 euro is not the officially currency of Europe, as Europe is not a country. It's the currency of the countries that are members of the EU (European Union) and part of the Eurozone. Not all countries in Europe use it and not all countries in the EU use it. For example, Sweden, Poland, Czechia and Hungary are part of the EU, but not in the Eurozone. So they use their own currency instead. Love your content, come to Greece, I'd love to show you around!

As a Lebanese who grew up studying french and reading a lot of french books, I was overcome with emotion walking the streets of Paris :) and now still, watching this video. 4:29 Yes, Paris has a lot going for her, Hollywood, sex symbol, good weather, cafés, cuisine, fashion, awesome architecture from a lot of historical periods, gardens, city of love, romantic street lights (long before electricity), but also a huge collection of fine arts, a lot of it of international fame. My favorite museum is The Musée d'Orsay, I like impressionist and post impressionist art more than renaissance stuff. For me personally though, Paris also represents Freedom, and Freedom of expression. Not perfect (no country is), but there is a reason why a lots of writers and artists came to "share their ideas" in Paris over the centuries.
